Jami Juutila raised preflop to 525 from the cutoff and Max Silver made the call on the button before Chris Moneymaker reraised to 2,100 from the small blind with both the others calling.
The flop came and Moneymaker checked across to Juutila who bet 4,000. Silver folded but Moneymaker called.
The turn went check-check, as did the river.
"Ace-high," declared Moneymaker showing , but Juutila flipped over for a better ace-high to win the pot.
The flop read when we arrived, and Dan Heimiller had bet out 2,525 from early position. Across the table in the hijack, Allen Bari made it 7,050 to go.
Our attention was briefly distracted (with this ridiculously large field, we're attempting to multitask and get chip counts from nearby tables while watching hands) and when we refocused Bari was folding - so we deduce that Heimiller had reraised, possibly all in.
Heimiller showed him first the and then the for a flush draw and overcards. He increased to 45,000. Bari is on 45,000 too, but moving in the opposite direction.
Team PokerStars Pro and 2008 WSOP finalist Dennis Phillips has hit the rail. All we know is that is his kings came a cropper to someone else's aces; the board was queen-high but the chips could have gone in at any point.
We suspect we'll be seeing more of Mr. Phillips this week, though. We particularly look forward to seeing him the £20,000 High Roller event, in which he took seventh place last year for £60,000.
All these counts, from just the furthest two rows in the room. By the by, Phil Ivey's seat at Kathy Liebert's table is empty, but Ivey's not out, he's just been moved.
Chris Brammer had opened to 500 preflop and Padraig Parkinson made it 2,200 from the cutoff, Toby Lewis then reraised to 4,475 on the button putting the onus back on Brammer.
Brammer tanked for several minutes, shaking his head in digust as he eventually folded while Parkinson instantly called the extra, with both players having around 25,000 behind.
Brammer came over and whispered to us, "Padriag has been 3-betting every hand for the last hour, any two cards, and Toby knows this so ugghh..."
As he told us this, the flop came and either Parkinson open-shoved or check-raised all-in, either way Lewis snap-called instantly with up against Parkinson's uberdrawy which hit on the turn and avoided another or on the river.
Parkinson actually had Lewis covered and so the Vilamoura champion and winner of the £1k event here can't make a deep run this time.
Upon attempting to count Amnon Filippi's chips, we were interrupted by Greg Raymer:
"Make a note for the coverage - he's not just playing the EPT, he's watching gay porn too."
And indeed on Filippi's ipad we could see some sort of cage fighting/wrestling (please forgive our ignorance on these matters) involving two rather scantily clad, muscle-bound men.
